Essential Support Partnership
"Why We
Do Things Differently"
At Club17 Curaçao, we believe that real change comes from collective action. Unique to our collaboration is that our members do not pay a financial membership. Instead, they invest in social return, a testament to our collective commitment to actual change.
​
Together, we work towards our shared vision through a four-step strategy. In this endeavor, we have a special group within our community: our Essential Support Partners. These partners form the backbone of Club17 Curaçao, and their contributions are indispensable for keeping Club17 Curaçao operational and fulfilling our mission.
These dedicated organizations and individuals understand the importance of concrete action and commit to social impact. Their support enables us to fulfill essential roles within Club17 Curaçao, crucial for realizing our vision.
​​
If you believe in our vision, there’s a place for you at Club17 Curaçao. Whether it’s through financial contributions, in-kind support, we welcome all who want to be part of the journey toward a better, more sustainable island. Together, we create the future we envision.
At Club17 Curaçao, we proudly collaborate with visionary support partners, who share our mission of making Curaçao the safest, most resilient, inclusive, and sustainable island in the Caribbean. Our members focus on delivering social return through concrete actions that directly contribute to our vision.
Meanwhile, our Essential Support Partners (ESP) provide the crucial resources that make it possible to coordinate and drive these actions forward. ESPs are the backbone of our organization, enabling us to manage and scale the projects that turn our collective vision into reality.
